- Native Spanish-Speaking Students Sing Their Way to English Fluency
BUSINESS
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) August 3, 2005 -- Each year in
August urban school systems are inundated with children who do not speak
English. It poses a particular problem for schools in Texas, California,
and counties along the Mexico Border. Now language technology companies
like American Language Solutions are coming up with innovative ways to
teach English to native Spanish-speakers. They are encouraging students to
sing their way to English fluency.
A representative for American Language Solutions stated, "I always get
songs stuck in my head and I end up singing them all day. We thought
wouldn’t it be great if kids actually learned something from the songs
that get stuck in their head. We realized that singing would be an
excellent way to teach English to native Spanish-speakers and we created a
program to teach English to school children that’s almost entirely based
on songs. Most other English as a Second Language programs have kids
repeating and memorizing thousands of vocabulary words. School children
don’t want to spend time memorizing vocabulary words. They have enough
stuff to memorize! Singing their way to English fluency is fun and it
doesn’t feel like work."
American Language Solutions’ flagship product, Ingles Para Todos, makes it
possible for anyone in the family to learn English and can be purchased at
www.americanlanguagesolutions.com. For more information on methods or
products to teach English as a second language please contact Sarina
